Author Lynne Truss offers up another quirky, fun book in the third of her Constable Twitten Mystery series: Murder by Milk Bottle. Three people have been murdered, and yes, it was, as the title implies, by using a milk bottle. Just when there is a big promotion of the benefits of milk is to happen, too. What do the three have in common? And why a milk bottle, of all things? Another fun romp with the ... er ... unusual police department of Brighton.

Do you ever think your family is crazy? Wait until you meet the one in The Case of the Fallen Hero, by Alison Golden and Grace Dagnall (part of her Inspector David Graham Mystery series).

It's her husband, of less than 24 hours. Did he fall? Was he pushed? Then there's the mystery of the missing musicians. Where are they? Family secrets come out, not always nice family secrets. And what a conclusion! Wow!
